What is a smoothie bowl?

Smoothie bowls are a trend catching on at restaurants and at home. Basically smoothie bowls are as simple as they sound—blend a smoothie and pour it into a bowl!

Making a smoothie bowl is simple: make a thick smoothie with fruits or vegetables then add all sorts of toppings and dig in with a spoon. You’ll create a filling breakfast that will sustain you throughout your morning.

Crafting a smoothie bowl at home allows you to carefully select ingredients that fit within your dietary needs. This pumpkin smoothie bowl is vegan and dairy free.

And guess what, you can even turn a smoothie bowl into dessert! Add some candied pecans and a dollop of Cocowhip™ topping and dessert is served!

Pumpkin Season

With the season soon changing to autumn, it’s time to start enjoying pumpkin and pumpkin spice. This pumpkin smoothie bowl tastes like pumpkin pie. The pumpkin pureé and oatmilk combine to create a rich and creamy base. Customize your toppings to add a bit of crunch and color.

I think pumpkin season should be all year long, but most of us get our fill of pumpkin in the months of September, October and November.

Pumpkins are packed with vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A is plentiful in pumpkins and you’ll get some of your daily recommended serving of vitamin C as well.
